  • One-electron states in a toroidal quantum dot in the presence of an external magnetic field have been considered. The magnetic field operator and the Schrodinger equation have been written in toroidal coordinates. The dependence of one-electron energy spectrum and wave function on the geometrical parameters of a toroidal quantum dot and magnetic field strength have been studied. The energy levels are employed to calculate the canonical partition function, which in its turn is used to obtain mean energy, heat capacity, entropy, magnetization, and susceptibility of noninteracting electron gas. The possibility to control the thermodynamic and magnetic properties of the noninteracting electron gas via changing the geometric parameters of the QD, magnetic field, and temperature, was demonstrated.
